California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) sent a letter to members of Congress requesting nearly $40 billion in funding to rebuild communities after wildfires devastated the Pacific Palisades and Altadena neighborhoods of Los Angeles.

“It’s clear that recovery from these fires is beyond the capabilities of California alone and necessitates the support of the United States government,” the governor wrote in the letter addressed to House Speaker Mike Johnson, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and Reps. Tom Cole (R-Okla.) and Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.).

“Make no mistake, Los Angeles will use this money wisely. California will ensure that funds will serve individuals, communities, property owners, and businesses that suffered losses from these devastating fires.”

Newsom has honest, trustworthy allies in this - Mayor Bass, for one. Incorruptible.

I couldn't even type that with a straight face.

The train to nowhere has, IMO, been a staggering cash grab for the Democrats, the unions, and connected people. This project should have been shut down years ago, and the people grabbing the cash should be in prison already.

“Make no mistake, those tax dollars will be used wisely,” Newsom wrote.
<><>he wants an additional $16.8B from FEMA, for rebuilding property and infrastructure,
<><>another $5 billion from FEMA is earmarked for debris cleanup.
<><>$9.9B from HUD is for grants to fire victims, homeowners, businesses and renters,
<><>and $5.29B from the SBA is for homeowner and business loans.

Plus unspecified billions of setasides, earmarked for Newsom’s presidential campaign.

I am hoping a Trump Administration has the personnel to prosecute thousands of Democrat grifters. And I hope Newsom is high on the list.
